Carol,
In the OAS Euroamerican artifact analysis framework, milk bottles (I'm
assuming you mean the bottles in which milk was either purchasd or
delivered to residences from the dairy) would be classified as Food
items. The other option would be Indulgence items, but we would
generally not consider milk in that category, although I suppose there
might be circumstances in which one could consider milk as an
indulgence. Our framework is flexible enough to allow for that
possibility if you wanted to do so . . .

Ok...I'll ask a "dumb" question...   Do milk bottles get designated
(as
once holding) a FOOD...or a BEVERAGE in your artifact classifications?
I consider juice, soda, mineral water...as beverages...

I haven't had milk in ages...but, I was never one to chug milk all by
itself as a "refreshing" drink (beverage).  I only drank it with meals
(or chocolate chip cookies!)...as a "supplement"...of sorts.  A liquid
food... (well, really just something to wash down the large particles,
ha ha).  I pretty much only drink water these days...as a beverage.

So...what is the convention (or is there even one?)...for how this
consumable liquid (well, actually the containers that once held it)
would be designated in an artifact classification...and Why?

Thanks.
